What has happened to men's work pants?
Is comfort now a secondary issue?
Just trying to replace some canvas work pants for outdoor activities like brush hogging and tilling I've had to wade through "updated fit", modern fit, low rise, trim fit, just off natural waist and even "Broadway fit" which all translates to skinny legged hip huggers with butt hanging out after any movement that could resemble work.
I'm not an unusual shape, weight or height (5'10" 175 lbs, 33" waist) and I wonder who they make these pants for? Obviously no one who has ever done one set of squats or plans to bend over sometime during the day.
I realize that one problem is the lack of brick and mortar stores carrying a selection of pants so it's online shopping with the risk of not correctly deciphering their fit code. (Always run from the updated or modern fit!) Reviews can help but I've been returning pants like I enjoy it. Once I do find a decent work pant I may buy 5 pairs!
My wife says I'm just old. To which I reply " do young guys like uncomfortable pants?!?"
